    Now people are slamming the company that made the backpack Luigi carried, claiming that the CEO told police it was one of theirs.

    Didn't it have the company brand on it? I'm guessing the CEO learned about it on the news like everyone else. Really, the whole country, from Trump on down, is now living in paranoid fantasies of their own creation.

    I dunno, but some people are claiming he told them who bought it.

    I guess they have serial numbers on them and he called police and told them who bought that exact backpack.

    Man, ain't that the truth, right?

    The Skandinavian countries, just for starters,
    have left us so far behind them for decades now.

    What brand was it? Peak Design?

    Yes. CEO denies it.

    How much credit are we supposed to give a CEO for claiming they are “fighting to lower costs” when they cleared $22 billion in profits while declining to cover a third of all claims?

    Fuck this smoldering sack of ferret shit.

    To be clear, I'm not supporting UHC, only that they have an opportunity to present their argument. Slam UHC all you want, but don't torch the NYT for giving them the space. How UHC chooses to use the space is on them, not the NYT.

    Blaming the manufacturer of the backpack he had at the time of the shooting? Heck, let's find out what kind of hoodie he was wearing the shoes he had on. I bet Nike was in on the planning
    It's almost like we should overreact and go on a month's long spree of tearing down statues because of an inanimate object a lone killer had on him.

    Not that they planned it, that they ratted him out.

    Sorry, but if you’re the NYT, you have to use better judgment when giving anyone the space. If they put out a load of crap, the NYT doesn’t have to just allow space for it. They are allowed to say, “we’re not running this bullshit.”

    Except they didn’t.
